Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Chapter 64 Ariana's Arrival Once Again

In the original work, although Mr. Z did not directly participate in the "Descendant of the Evil God" incident in Tingen City, he played a remote command role in the whole incident.

What's most disgusting is that, until the very end, this messenger of the "Aurora Society" was not punished in any way, making him arguably the only villain to escape unscathed in the "Descendants of Evil Gods" incident.

He has now arrived in Tingen, which is exactly what Julian wanted.

As long as the previous plan can proceed as scheduled, he can use Mr. Z to fight against Mrs. Sharon, achieving two goals at once.

The objective was to eliminate two dangerous individuals at once.

In this way, Ince Zangwell will lose more than half of the cards he already knows.

If nothing unexpected happens, Klein has already revealed the "acting method" to Dunn Smith. As long as the captain of the Night Watch can fully digest the potion, the risk of him retrieving "Saint Selena's Ashes" from the Charnis Gate can be minimized.

On the other hand, meeting with this messenger of the "Aurora Society" has another advantage: he can take the opportunity to test the true intentions of the "True Creator".

The day before, this "Hanged Man" pathway Sequence 0 True God had simply sealed the "Starry Night" in Julian's shadow and then said a bunch of ambiguous things, leaving Julian unsure of what the other party was thinking.

Rather than waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative and test the waters.

Julian took the letter, opened it, and found that it contained the address of a club in the dock area, and the meeting time was after 6 p.m. tonight.

Please tell Mr. Z that I will be on time for the appointment.

He nodded and agreed.

"We look forward to your arrival."

Lanius gave Julian a sly smile, then turned and left once more after giving Julian a deep look.

"—This guy seems to have gone out of control."

Julian watched Lanius's departing figure, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

He quietly closed the door, then lit a fire in the fireplace and began burning the letter that Lanius had sent.

As Julian watched the flames emit colors that were rarely seen by ordinary people, he pondered his current situation.

But suddenly, the colors began to flow in one direction once again.

This reduced the firelight considerably, but Julian knew it wasn't because the fire had weakened.

"Greetings, Lady Ariana."

He stood up, dusted off the ash from his cigarette, and looked at Ariana, who had somehow appeared in the dark shadows by the window.

The abbot of the "Night Monastery" looked no different from before, still indifferent and calm, seemingly without any emotional fluctuations.

Julian Albrecht.

Ariana nodded slightly to Julian.

"May I ask what new instructions the goddess has?"

Julian asked with a smile.

To be honest, he had performed a ritual magic the night before, but "Goddess of the Night" Amanisis did not give any response, which made him somewhat uneasy.

After all, such a big thing happened to one of her followers, and it would be very unusual for the goddess not to make any statement, even if the follower was not a "regular" follower.

Julian felt much more at ease upon seeing Ariana appear.

As expected, Ariana spoke up, saying, "You encountered the true creator yesterday."

""

"That's right."

Julian nodded slightly: "I would like to ask, what exactly is His purpose? And what exactly did He do to the one who is attached to me?"

"I can hardly feel His presence anymore."

The absence of "Starry Night" improved Julian's mental state considerably, as he no longer had to listen to that constant buzzing noise. However, this also reduced his means of survival.

Therefore, he also wanted to hear Ariana's opinion on the matter.

Upon hearing this, the "Hidden Servant" spoke up: "The Aurora Society member you previously corrupted, Lanluus, has some kind of mystical connection with the True Creator."

"Therefore, the true Creator may have acquired some corruption through certain means, which corresponds to what you see in the shadowy world of the mirror."

Julian nodded upon hearing this. He had indeed seen the "True Creator" surrounded by a faint light, like a neon-colored ball, the day before. It was clearly a color from the "Color of the Stars".

He had suspected this before, but Arianna's words now confirmed Julian's suspicions completely.

Ariana, her hands clasped at her lower abdomen, walked slowly and gracefully towards Julian through the darkness beneath the wall: "This matter involved a degree of chance, but through it, the True Creator gained certain benefits."

"Benefit?"

Julian frowned. "I don't understand. Please explain."

"Through some unknown mechanism, the true Creator" regained some of His sanity after receiving this contamination, which significantly reduced His tendency toward madness.

"This is the first time in a thousand years, and therefore the true creator has developed an instinctive craving for this pollution. He then transferred the pollution from Lannus to himself through an unknown method."

"Through this contaminated connection, he finally gained the opportunity to directly bypass the goddess's protection and face you directly."

Hearing Arianna's words, Julian frowned slightly: "So He—sealed the one within me into my shadow, in an attempt to gain corresponding power through His control over the authority of 'shadow'?"

Ariana shook her head upon hearing this: "Maybe, maybe not."

"Because if that were the case, you would be completely unable to use the corresponding power, but you also said that when you were in danger, that neon light appeared again and released your puppet form."

Therefore, the true intentions of the "true creator" appear very confusing, perhaps because He has not yet fully regained His sanity, or perhaps for other reasons.

"Of course, one thing is certain: He has no intention of killing you for the time being, and seems to value you very much."

"As you probably already know, Mr. Z invited me to meet him tonight."

Julian frowned. "If things are truly as you say, it cannot be ruled out that the true Creator is attempting to establish channels of further contact with me."

"In that case, I will inevitably be in great danger."

"Don't worry."

Ariana smiled and shook her head: "You may go to the meeting—if I'm not mistaken, the true creator at this stage shouldn't do anything to you."

How do you know?

Upon hearing this, Julian asked with some curiosity.
